Option pricing and hedging in incomplete market driven by Normal Tempered Stable process with stochastic volatility

This paper develops a distribution class, termed Normal Tempered Stable, by subordinating a drifted Brownian motion through a strictly increasing Tempered Stable process that generalizes the Variance Gamma and the Normal Inverse Gaussian and is used to model the logarithm asset returns. The newly added parameter is to create subclasses for all the distributions discovered in financial market. The empirical test suggests that time series of Technology stock returns in US market reject both the Variance Gamma distribution and the Normal Inverse Gaussian distribution and admit instead another subclass of the Normal Tempered Stable distribution. Furthermore, we introduce stochastic volatilities into the Normal Tempered Stable process and derive explicit formulae for option pricing and hedging by means of the characteristic function based methods. To answer the question of how well different models work in practice, we investigate four models adopting data on daily equity option prices and obtain several findings from the numerical results. To sum up, the Normal Tempered Stable process with stochastic volatility is able to adequately capture implied volatility dynamics and seen as a superior model relative to the jump-diffusion stochastic volatility model, based on the construction methodology that incorporates more sophisticated and flexible jump structure and the systematic and realistic treatment of volatility dynamics. The Normal Tempered Stable model turns out to have the competitive performance in an efficient manner given that it only requires three parameters.     

Adsorption and Aggregation Behavior of n-Undecyl Ammonium Acetate Ionic Liquid in Aqueous Solution

A surface active ionic liquid (IL), [CH₃(CH₂)₁₀NH₃][OOCCH₃], was synthesized and characterized by FTIR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR. Its surface activity and aggregation behavior in aqueous solution were investigated using surface tension measurements, conductivity measurements, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The results reveal that the CAC and γ_cac of this IL are 15.3 mM and 23.1 mN/m, respectively. We observed a strong interaction between the counter-ions, leading to ion pairs that self-assemble into spherical vesicles in aqueous solution, with an average diameter in the range of 120 to 130nm.     

Adsorption of Some Surfactants onto Polyvinyl Alcohol as Hydrophobic Polymer Surface

The adsorption of different types of nonionic and anionic surfactants from aqueous solutions onto polyvinyl alcohol has been studied at different temperatures using surface tension measurements. The nonionic surfactants show Langmuirian L-shape isotherms whereas the adsorption isotherms of the anionic surfactants exhibit segmoidal shape. The experimental adsorption isotherms could be fitted to the Langmuir equation and the values of Γ_max and A_min have been calculated. The effect of temperature on the adsorption process as well as on both efficiency and effectiveness of adsorption has been studied.     

Estimation of bioreactor efficiency through structured hydrodynamic modeling case study of a Pichia pastoris fed-batch process

In this article, two theories are unified to investigate the effect of hydrodynamics on a specific bioprocess: the network-of-zones (NOZ) hydrodynamic structured modeling approach (developed by several researchers but applied to only a few bioprocesses) and the effectiveness factor η approach. Two process scales were investigated (20 and 500 L), and for each, hydrodynamics were quantified using an NOZ validated by homogeneity time measurements. Several impeller combinations inducing quite different hydrodynamics were tested at the 20-L scale. After this step, effectiveness factors were determined for each fermentation run. To achieve this, a perfectly mixed microbial kinetic model was evaluated by using simple Monod kinetics with a fed-batch mass balance. This methodology permitted determination of the effectiveness factor with more accuracy because of the relation with the perfect case deduced from the Monod kinetics. It appeared that for the small scale, η decreased until reaching a value of approx 0.7 (30% from the ideal case) for the three impeller systems investigated. However, stirring systems that include hydrofoils seemed to maintain higher effectiveness factors during the course of the fermentation. This effect can be attributed to oxygen transfer performance or to homogenization efficiency exhibited by the hydrofoils. To distinguish the oxygen transfer from the homogenization component of the effectiveness factor, these phenomena were analyzed separately. After determining the evolution of η_{O 2} linked to oxygen transfer for each of the fermentation runs, the NOZ model was employed to quantify substrate gradient appearance. After this step, another effectiveness factor, η_mix, related to mixing was defined. Consequently, it is possible to distinguish the relative importance of the mixing effect and oxygen transfer on a given bioprocess. The results have highlighted an important scale effect on the bioprocess that can be analyzed using the NOZ model.

对光电搜索跟踪系统干扰效果的评估方法

为评估电子对抗装备对光电搜索跟踪系统的干扰效果,针对光电搜索跟踪系统工作过程中的搜索、捕获、跟踪三个不同阶段,提出了相应的干扰效果评估方法。在光电搜索跟踪系统的搜索阶段和捕获阶段,分别依据实施干扰前后光电搜索跟踪系统的目标发现概率和捕获概率的变化来评估对系统的干扰效果。在跟踪阶段,以实施干扰后系统跟踪误差是否超出无干扰时正常跟踪精度的三倍来判定一次干扰是否有效,依据多次试验的干扰成功率来评估干扰效果和确定干扰效果的等级。     

The Effectiveness of a Voice Treatment Approach for Teachers With Self-Reported Voice Problems

SUMMARY: Teachers are considered the professional group most at risk of developing voice-problems, but limited treatment effectiveness evidence exists. We studied prospectively the effectiveness of a 6-week combined treatment approach using vocal function exercises (VFEs) and vocal hygiene (VH) education with 20 teachers with self-reported voice problems. Twenty subjects were randomly assigned to a no-treatment control (n = 11) and a treatment group (n = 9). Fibreoptic endoscopic evaluation was carried out on all subjects before randomization. Two self-report voice outcome measures were used: the Voice-Related Quality of Life (VRQOL) and the Voice Symptom Severity Scale (VoiSS). A Voice Care Knowledge Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), developed specifically for the study, was also used to evaluate change in selected voice knowledge areas. A Student unpaired t test revealed a statistically significant (P < 0.05) improvement in the treatment group as measured by the VoiSS. There was not a significant improvement in the treatment group as measured by the V-RQOL. The difference in voice care knowledge areas was also significant for the treatment group (P < 0.05). This study suggests that a voice treatment approach of VFEs and VH education improved self-reported voice symptoms and voice care knowledge in a group of teachers.

Optimal strategies for hedging portfolios of unit-linked life insurance contracts with minimum death guarantee

In this paper, we are interested in hedging strategies which allow the insurer to reduce the risk to their portfolio of unit-linked life insurance contracts with minimum death guarantee. Hedging strategies are developed in the Black and Scholes model and in the Merton jump-diffusion model. According to the new frameworks (IFRS, Solvency II and MCEV), risk premium is integrated into our valuations. We will study the optimality of hedging strategies by comparing risk indicators (Expected loss, volatility, VaR and CTE) in relation to transaction costs and costs generated by the re-hedging error. We will analyze the robustness of hedging strategies by stress-testing the effect of a sharp rise in future mortality rates and a severe depreciation in the price of the underlying asset.
